Background: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of serious infection in infants. Understanding its regional molecular epidemiology is helpful for regulating efficient prevention practice. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to collected data from infants and pregnant women with culture-proven GBS disease in the largest women and children's medical center in Shanxi between January 2017 and September 2019. All GBS isolates were analyzed by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) as well as distribution of pilus island (PI) genes. Results: A total of 54 GBS isolates were obtained from 36 (66.7%) pregnant women and 18 (33.3%) infants with invasive disease. Among invasive GBS strains, the most common sequence type was ST10 (72.2%, P |
